Hello Sexy Claus QOD: Well, I first joined as I like the accountability factor of a challenge, I find that I need that from time to time to keep me focused and centered on the end goal. I've also found and accepted (for me) that it will take alot longer for me to reach my goal -my weight loss has been slow but steady...I'm…

Greetings Good People! I just finished Week 6, Day 3...this morning:smile: Honestly I really thought it was going to be more difficult -running 25 minutes straight, for some reason I thought I was going to be stopping the treadmill halfway through it...but like you two said it really wasn't that bad. Anyhow, got it done at…

How do you try to balance your everyday life with your new healthier lifestyle? What struggles do you have? What works for you? Good Day Good People! Well its' been a minute for me,...life just keeps getting in the way (haven't been on for a while) To answer the question, I would say that daily stressors keep getting in…

Hello Everyone! Week 6, Day 2 has went down! Not much to report...the two ten minute runs weren't bad at all. I didn't change the incline, ran them at 4.0 and stepped down the 3 minute walk to 2.8 miles. Finished just under 2.0 miles, (1.92) with warm up and cool down! Cool Runnings!:glasses:

Thanks for posting, I'm just finishing up my 1st week of P90X, and its always nice to see what is possible! Great JOB!!

Good Morning Everyone! Well today is officially Day 7 for me, however yesterday- I felt a little sick, and didn't get the full Kenpo in, (only 15 mins) so I decided to use yesterday as the rest day, and finish Kenpo today. I'm still at it and still here! I will say that doing the last workout (Legs and Back) was a killer…

Week 6, Day 1- Completed- not bad at all :drinker: incline on treadmill is still at 1.5, walks at 3.0 and Runs were at 4.2! I was able to complete 2.02 miles in the 30 minutes (including warm up and cool down) calorie burn was 312 :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Overall a good work out. I plan to increase incline to 2.0 for the Day…

Good Morning Everyone!!

Just completed week 5 day 3, (20 Minute run) done on the treadmill, It wasn't soo bad! Great job debs6 - You are definitely on track :drinker: I know someone posted earlier about using the jogging knee brace, perhaps that may help you out with soreness. Great Job motivatedbirde on the great pace, and still sticking with…

Hello Everyone, *newbie here* I just started the P90X onTuesday with Chest and Back yesterday, wasn't able to complete it all, as I didn't have a pull up bar, but I had the bands...however nothing to really mount the bands on for some of the exercises...I'll have to get a pull up bar and try to figure it out, for next…

Hey Good People!! Well, Week 5 Day 2 is done!! WOW:noway: :laugh: I probably should have looked ahead before I started the run. I sooo wasn't expecting the jump to two 8 minute runs!

I believe its absolutely in bad taste just looking at the pictures that were displayed in the article...what's celebratory about those costumes? I didn't see anything in those pictures that dignified the depicted ethnic cultures whatsoever, right down to the stereotypical names. It seems like another chance for some to…

Krys_T, You already know what you must do for your own sanity. I myself have been there and done that, got the book too:smile: . But sometimes we have to go through things for us, as women to realize our self worth. And being unappreciated, is often one of those "wake up moments". Having gone through a similar experience…

Okay MFP is freaking out, I just posted a LONG old post and it disappeared!:grumble: :angry: :grumble: -Okay, it did post :laugh: :tongue: Nevermind....:laugh: :flowerforyou: :

I'm a bit biased, I love my Polar Ft7, did quite a bit of research before getting it, and haven't been disappointed yet. Whichever model/manufacturer you decide to go with, a good idea is to go to a site like Amazon, and read through some of the user reviews prior to buying one. It may save you alot of money and…

Hello everyone, I plan on starting P90x (classic) on November 1st (currently finishing up JM Ripped in 30) anyone starting classic or relatively new to the P90x program interested in starting?

Good Morning, Everyone... I hope you don't mind me intruding on your thread for a few "rookie" type questions. I'm interested in starting P90X on November 1st, as I'm just finishing up Ripped in 30 at the end of October.
